Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Decrease in duration of periodsto 3- 4 days is not worrisome. As long as you are having regular cycles with a moderate amount of bleeding, it is indicative of ovulatory cycles. You should not have any problem in concieving or bearing children.
Usually such a minor change is caused by anemia, stress, dietary changes, oral pills or hormonal changes in the body.
In case the duration of bleeding decreases further and becomes less than one day then hormonal treatment like estrogen supplementation is required under the guidance of a gynecologist.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
